I will be surprised if bit frost is anything compared to ice. But who knows. I will be honest I have never used Maya, and never have ventured into that territory from things I have heard. With all the thing I'm reading after the EOL was announce I just think out the box it far too technical/hardwork for my personal work flow.
Let's be rational, ice is 5 some years old and was 2-3 years in the making before that. So that's 7-8 years. I would be interested to find out how long this bit frost has been in the making.....now considering they only bought niad not too long ago and I read its based somehow on that, I would be sceptical how well it could work or how mature it is. I just think all of this is based on pure market share and pleasing the share holders. But like I said I don't know. But I know I will be looking for another route away from autocash for sure. I hope most people follow another path to show these bully tactics are bull shit and the customer is always right.
